Sometimes when we use BAPI that has return structure type BAPIRETURN we get incomplete message information in field BAPIRETURN-CODE
It happens if the length of message class greater than 2
For example if BAPI returns message 020 of message class MEPO then field BAPIRETURN-CODE contains value ME020
This is incorporated in standard source code
This is not convenient because we have cropped information on message
So I found the following solution for myself
Extended standard structure BAPIRETURN with APPEND-structure
consisting of two fields: message class and message number
With the help of implicit enchancement added some lines of code to standard form FILL_BAPIRETURN in program LMEWQF10
Now when I analyze return log of BAPI I get full length information about message class and number in my custom fields
Hi Vasily,
I’m not sure if you should really recommend to add an append to structure BAPIRETURN.
This structure is used in many BAPIs which are exposed to the outside world and can be called from external SAP systems and non-SAP applications which could break by adapting your solution. I think you cannot gauge the impact of such a change since it’s not only affecting BAPIs of module MM but many more!
